Your father probably feels that he is right in his thinking, because he is a man ~or~ because he is your father. He finds it difficult to accept that you have grown into a beautiful young woman, capable of making her own decisions as to what is best for her and her life. I am proud of you for staying with your beliefs, and not following his wishes simply because you are his daughter. Bravo!
Your photos of summer in Ukraine are wonderful! That field of sunflowers is spectacular, the delightful feminine shadow you cast is lovely, and the other flowers are fabulous! Orchards full of apples and apricots sound amazing! Zirochka was talking in her post today about how she would gather cherries, apples, plums, mushrooms, wild berries, mint, and thyme. Ukraine is alive, both in nature and in the spirit of her people. Ukraine seems strong and resilient. When the war ends, I feel that the country will rebound with much determination and you will be able to see those things again if you choose to return.
So happy to hear that Gigi continues to improve and is slipping into her old routine again! 💜
I don't disrespect him nor do I like to argue with him but like you said it's just different and he probably can't accept it or hard for him to accept. Sometimes nothing can be done and it's hard for me to make him understand my situation because his only solution is to come home...
West part of Ukraine people is living okay compared to the east part. Kharkiv city is almost empty, only men and elderly people are staying there. I only can imagine how people are staying in the metro station for 4 months :(... Hope soon all will be okay...But yes, nature is spreading her beauty everywhere...
